Fulham vs Everton LIVE – team news, kick-off time, TV channel, score and stream

Everton’s gamers have simply been collaborating in a quite full-blooded rondo drill and James Garner flung himself to the turf in a problem.

He’s effective and bought again up once more with a smile on his face however he must be cautious provided that he is presently Sean Dyche’s solely obtainable central midfielder.

Even with the brand new stand reverse us by the banks of the Thames, Craven Cottage continues to be one of many Premier League’s cosiest venues.

Like Goodison, there are many picket seats – together with the one I’m sat on – but in addition a couple of pillars to impede your view.

What I can see clearly although is the Everton gamers warming-up as they’re being put by their paces proper in entrance of us and they’re sporting their salmon pink away equipment tonight.

Godfrey has performed proper again as soon as below Dyche. It was towards Fulham final yr, when Marco Silva’s aspect received what felt like a ‘should win’ for Everton 3-1. I’m not satisfied this is not 4 on the again but when it was me, I’d be enjoying him as a 3rd centre again with Young and Mykolenko as wing backs and a slim centre mid of McNeil, Harrison and Garner, with Danjuma off DCL.

So as we have been listening to all day, no Amadou Onana within the Everton squad tonight resulting from harm, leaving Sean Dyche with only one recognised central midfielder in his aspect to face Fulham. Just who would possibly accomplice James Garner within the Blues engine room tonight? Dwight McNeil? Jack Harrison? Ben Godfrey? Ashley Young? There’s going to need to be a minimum of one sq. peg in a spherical gap for the guests someplace alongside the road.

Alex Iwobi is out on the Africa Cup of Nations, the place Nigeria is thru to the final eight after defeating Cameroon on the weekend. That means there will likely be no reunion together with his outdated membership tonight. Iwobi was bought to Fulham on the ultimate day of the summer season switch window in what very a lot felt like a sting within the tail. Dyche doesn’t consider, not in his public profferings anyway, that Everton will likely be inclined to such late enterprise this time however that is still to be seen. This is an enormous sport however with the attraction towards the factors deduction beginning tomorrow and the switch deadline day on Thursday, there’s a lot occurring off the pitch too.

As Joe says, Fulham have been a bogey team for Sean Dyche’s Everton to date having recorded a hat-trick of quite completely different victories at Goodison Park in 2023.

First was the Cottagers’ complete 3-1 success final April once we all hoped they’d have their flip-flops on, the 1-0 win on the opening day of this season when Marco Silva needed to have it defined to him within the put up-match press convention what the phrase “smash and grab” meant and then their penalty shoot-out success within the Carabao Cup in December.

Let’s hope that 2024 brings higher fortune for Dyche and the Blues on this fixture.

Sean Dyche has acheived so much in his first 12 months at Everton. Beating Fulham is one factor he has been unable to do. Three occasions Marco Silva’s aspect left Goodison Park in celebration in 2023. Three occasions. Each of these video games have been essential too, a minimum of for Everton. Willian is Dyche’s kryptonite… can he lastly discover a solution to him away from L4?

Fulham’s former Everton supervisor Marco Silva references his aspect’s two earlier conferences with the Blues this season in tonight’s programme notes. The Portuguese coach, who was in cost at Goodison Park for 18 months between 2018-19, mentioned: “Both matches were tough encounters, and we are expecting the same this evening from a side who provided a great reaction on the pitch and are fighting hard following a recent points deduction. We know what to expect from our opponent today, in the same way Everton will know what to expect from our team.”

Evening everybody, Joe Thomas right here sat within the bowels of Craven Cottage. We bought right here a bit bit early this afternoon and so spent an hour wandering round leafy west London – some good streets on this neck of the woods. I’ve at all times cherished seeing Craven Cottage on TV, the bottom regarded so atmospheric and it nearly had a Goodison-feel about it. The 0-0 right here final season was my first go to and it lived as much as my expectations. That 0-0, wow. It is mad to think about that as final season. It was October 2022 so some 15 months in the past. Frank Lampard in cost, one week after the 3-0 win at residence to Crystal Palace and the temper was optimistic. It felt like Everton have been on the cusp of progress and they need to have been enjoying 10 males after that terrible Aleksander Mitrovic problem on Idrissa Gueye. I’m wondering how a lot would have been completely different had Everton had an hour towards 10 males that night? We’ll by no means know. Yeah… so much has occurred since then…

There are some massive requires the supervisor to make this night.

Dyche has nonetheless but to discover a technique to get the team profitable persistently with out Doucoure and after 4-4-2 failed towards Luton on the weekend, extra modifications to the team really feel inevitable this night.

Earlier right now, Joe and Chris picked their favoured sides – who would you go together with tonight, Blues?

Today is after all one yr since Sean Dyche was appointed as Everton boss.

It has been an eventful spell, consisting of a relegation battle, a factors deduction and two Premier League costs.

But may the upcoming 12 months be much more chaotic?

Our writers look again at an eventful yr and what may nonetheless be on the playing cards for the Blues supervisorHERE.

Hello and welcome to our dwell protection of the conflict between Fulham and Everton within the Premier League.

It’s an enormous one for the Blues, who’re determined for a lift after Saturday’s terrible exhibiting towards Luton Town.

With the Hatters additionally in motion on Tuesday night at residence to Brighton, Everton may discover themselves within the backside three come the tip of the night. But let’s hope it does not come to that.

Deep breathe everybody – right here we go once more…
